Reims are without a win in the French top flight for eight games now but the hosts will welcome fellow strugglers Nantes to their Stade Auguste-Delaune on Sunday afternoon as the hosts look to return to winning ways.
Points picked up in five draws have been outweighed by slipping to three defeats, while the bigger picture shows Reims have managed to capture just one win from their last 12 matches, that coming in the shape of a 3-0 win away from home at Le Havre.
Reims have also failed to win any of their last six home games too, but earlier in the season, the hosts had registered wins against Rennes and Montpellier along with holding French giants, PSG, to a 1-1 draw, so Luka Elsner’s side are capable of producing a result here.
Nantes have also found league wins hard to come by in recent times in Ligue 1 as the visitors have failed to win any of their last five games overall, drawing four of these and being dealt a heavy 4-1 loss away from home at Brest.
Despite picking up a 1-0 home win against Rennes in early December, this rare victory has turned out to be Nantes’ only highlight within their previous 16 matches overall in the French top flight, which also includes being handed seven defeats in the process as well.
Having also captured just one win from their last 10 outings on the road as well, Nantes look to have their work cut out ahead of this upcoming trip to the Stade Auguste-Delaune on Sunday afternoon.
The Betting Verdict
Reims are unbeaten in the last five meetings against Nantes which consists of four wins and a draw, so the hosts look the more likely here.
The Pick :
Reims 1-0 Nantes
